Here are the meanings in case you decide to make your wreath a different color.

Magnolia Color Meanings:

Yellow magnolia represents the sun, any solar goddess or god, and for spells case on Sundays.
White magnolia represents the moon, any lunar goddess, and spells cast on Mondays.
Pink magnolia represents the feminine, friends, and love. Spells using pink flowers are best cast on Friday, the day belonging to love goddesses like Venus or Aphrodite.
Purple magnolia associated with royalty since Roman times, is best for spells dealing with governments.

Product Review - Hurrikane Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer Kit

We have been getting a bunch of products to review lately, thanks to our followers and subscribers. This particular review is on the Hurrikane Mason Jar Vacuum Sealer Kit. I do have a bag sealer that I use frequently but thought this jar sealer would be more convenient because it's small and takes up no space. Rhonda recently reviewed the Foodsaver, if you are interested read about it here → Product Review - FoodSaver V4400.

The original test I made was with lettuce. I had some cut-up leftover romaine lettuce and put it in a jar.

I used the wide-mouthed sealer along with the handheld pump. It worked well and sealed quickly. After I sealed the jar, I held the jar up by the lid to make sure it was sealed and put it in the refrigerator to test how long it would stay fresh before turning brown. After 4 days in the jar, it looked as good as it did when I sealed the jar.

Here's how it works ⮟

Package includes:

1 Wide Mouth Sealer
1 Regular Mouth Sealer
1 Electric Vacuum Pump
3 Wide-mouth Mason Jar Lids
3 Regular-mouth Mason Jar Lids
3 Wide-mouth Bands
3 Regular-mouth Bands
1 USB Charging Cable
Manual

The product is environmentally safe. It's BPA-free, non-toxic, and tasteless. Easy to clean by hand, dishwasher safe.

It's portable and rechargeable. With a one-touch switch button, easy to use and fast, Only need 3-5 Seconds to vacuum air.

Vacuum storage can create an airtight barrier, blocking moisture and oxygen to extend freshness and locking flavors and nutrients, helping foods fresh up to 5X longer.

Do you have a vacuum sealer? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Keep it sassy,

Kelly

Wondering What To Do With All Those Zucchinis?

****UDPATED 8/5/23****

I have a small garden and zucchini is part of that garden. I’m not sure what happened but when it started producing I only harvested 2 zucchinis. Then all of a sudden it started popping out a bunch and I’m thankful.

Did you know zucchini grows about 2” a day? Zucchini plants produce a lot of fruit and what do you do with them all? Here are some suggestions along with several of my favorite recipes.

Bake Bread - I adore zucchini bread. It’s moist, sweet, and freezes well. Try this recipe: Zucchini Bread from Dash of Sanity.
Serve It as a Side Dish - Baked Parmesan Zucchini from Damn Delicious are crispy and super delicious.
Make Cupcakes - Sweet and delectable, especially with the caramel icing YUMM!! Zucchini Cupcakes from Taste of Home.
Use It in Place of Pasta - Fun and a great alternative to pasta ITALIAN ZUCCHINI NOODLES RECIPE WITH GARLIC AND TOMATO from Best Recipe Box.
Freeze It - Did you know you can freeze zucchini? Here’s a great website to help you with 5 different ways. I’ve successfully frozen zucchini and you can too. Hop on over to this website to find out How to Freeze Zucchini.
Give It Away - it’s nice to be able to share our surplus of veggies. Plus, there’s nothing like fresh fruit & vegetables right of the garden.

I hope you can enjoy the fresh off-the-vine produce. Try these recipes and if you have some favorite recipes using zucchini, share in the comments.

Keep it Sassy,

Kelly

DIY - How to Make an Airtight Lid for Any Bagged Item

Would you like to know how to put a lid on all those bags of sugar, candy, cereal, etc.?

Cathy found out a way and wants to share it with YOU!

What you will need:

A plastic bottle with a screw top.
A bag of whatever you want to keep fresh or just pour-able.

Instructions:

Take the wrapper off the plastic bottle.
Cut the top of the bottle and cutting it short helps with the process.
With the lid off, thread the bag through the top.
Fold the bag over the top enough to cover the thread.
Push the screw top down over the bag and then screw the top on. The bag will twist with it but you can turn the bag and it will be fine.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you!!

How to make with McCormick Spice Blends

***UPDATED 9/2/23***

Don't you love trying new recipes? We do and we thought we'd show you a way to vamp up your butter.

We used McCormick Spice blends Perfect Pinch in Vegetable, Lemon Herb, and Sweet Onion & Herbs.

What you need:

1/2# of Butter ( 2 sticks ) softened
Cream ( just enough to make it easier to whip )
1 tsp of your choice of McCormick herb blends

Instructions:

1. Whip up softened butter and a small amount of cream in a mixer until you have a whipped consistency.

2. Add herb blend and whip once again.

We divided the butter into 4 portions with different herbs and one with apricot preserves.

The butters were delicious on crackers but we all agreed they would be super delicious on rolls. You can also use the herb butter in dishes, meats, fish, chicken, and we could go on and on. You get the idea.

So why have boring butter when you can have scrumptious butter? Have it for dinner or a party.

Enjoy!!

We would love to hear from you, comment below!

Keep it sassy,

Cathy

HOW TO: Take care of Blueberries

It's blueberry season and oh how we love to eat them. There are a couple of things you need to know:

1. How to store blueberries so they don't turn moldy.

2. How to make a delicious dessert using blueberries.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your blueberries stay fresh:

1. Check for mold before you buy them. Mold spreads quickly when they are in close contact. One bad blueberry can make the whole bunch bad.

2. Don't rinse unless you have to. The key is to keep them dry in storage. Rinse what you will use or at least let them dry before putting them back in the refrigerator.
3. Make sure you blueberries are dry. If you've rinsed them, just make sure you use a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture and the air circulation will deter mold.
4. Refrigerate your blueberries. Make sure they get air, so don't put them in the crisper. Blueberries will stay good for up to a week when stored this way.
5. Freeze them if they seem overripe. Spread the blueberries on a rimmed baking sheet, let them firm up in the freezer, then transfer them into a resealable plastic bag and pop them back in the freezer. They will keep for quite a few months, which means you can make all kinds of desserts later in the year.

Kelly makes the most delicious blueberry sorbet. Here's the recipe she uses from Simply Recipes - Blueberry Sorbet.

We hope you watch the latest video on How To Take Care of Blueberries :)
